Elizas Deli from our Hotel Elizas Manor 

We have just started up Elizas Deli from our Hotel Elizas Manor on Bealey Avenue and offer a range of family friendly heat and eat meals plus household groceries and essentials that we think would be perfect for families.  We also offer Grazing boxes and grazing tables which would be ideal for work nibbles or get-togethers.

All of these can be delivered within 10km of the city centre, orders prior to 12pm will be delivered the same day. We think the Deli would be great for families especially those households who are needing to isolate at this time. We can take out all the hassle of cooking and offer contactless delivery.
